Sami tries to get Rafe to reconsider his decision to leave. She tells him she won't ask him about his past again, if he'll tell her that the acccident they're discussing was just an accident. But Gering explains that "Sami's already promised this before", and that it "saddens Rafe" every time Sami questions his past.

Sami tells Rafe that she's only trying to protect her kids, but this makes Rafe more upset, because as Gering says, "Rafe has been protecting Sami and her kids for months." Now that Sami doesn't trust him, Gering says "it makes Rafe realize it's truly over between them."

Before Rafe leaves Salem, he finds Nicole on the phone with Dr. Baker. Rafe overhears Nicole say Dr. Baker's name and ask "How much?" SOW says that Dr. Baker is threatening to reveal the baby switch, unless Nicole pays him a lot of money. Gering says that Rafe's "gut instinct" tells him something is going on. Rafe wants to figure this out, "and maybe part of it is that in the back of his mind, he doesn't really want to leave Salem".

Rafe starts doing research to find what Nicole's connection to Dr. Baker is, since Rafe thinks Dr. Baker is the one who delivered Sami's baby. Rafe learns that Dr. Baker disappeared for a short time. Gering says Rafe is "looking for answers", since the clues are starting to add up.
